Previously post cards have been sent out to media, City and County elected officials, homeowners and also several businesses are passing them out to their patrons. 500 post card are in the initial received order and another 500 will arrive shortly.
This is a consumer/homeowner unfriendly newspaper and until they change their nose in the air attitude such unfavorable publicity will continue. CBS TV continues with its efforts to get the AJC's attention, however, the paper seems intent on ignoring public opinion.
I believe that the next step is a picket line in front of their building.
Tell them to 'knock it off' and keep their trash off your property!

Cobb: Atlanta Newspaper Breaks The Law
Code: Must Stop Delivery At Resident RequestMABLETON, Ga. -- CBS Atlanta has learned that the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has broken Cobb County's litter law, by refusing to cease delivery after residents' requests. "It's just pathetic," said resident Jewel Woolridge.
Jewel Woolridge lives across the street from a Mableton home that has more than a dozen copies of the AJC's Reach and Evening Edge circulars piled in the driveway. Common sense would say, if the house looks vacant, don't throw trash in other people's yard," said Woolridge.
Patrick Oakley agreed. Every week he said ads blow off his neighbors' lawns and into the sewer. "Those letters go into the drains and straight into the river," said Oakley. He started calling the AJC two months ago, and asked to be taken off their delivery list. "It took me at least five or six phone calls," said Oakley. "I would call every Monday, and every Monday it would show back up again."
On one of those calls, Oakley was told the driver would stop delivering and pick up the old papers, so he said he left them in his yard for a few weeks. "I got a letter from my homeowners' association warning me to pick up the trash in my yard and on my driveway," said Oakley.
Cobb County litter code states that any newspaper that continues to deliver "after having received notice from a person to be removed from the distribution list," is in violation. Code enforcement officials said, after several complaints, they called the AJC, who sent a representative to talk to neighbors who wanted off the list. But management for Oakley's subdivision said they've called the paper repeatedly, and even sent two cease and desist letters to the AJC, but got no response.
"I feel like I should take them all and dump them on the AJC's front lawn.," said Oakley. "I don't see the difference." The AJC did not respond to requests for an interview, or questions about the pile at the Mableton home.
